Kansas Quilts for my daughters
 
2 Attachment(s)
These are quilts I just finished for my two daughters. The are the Kansas University Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats. YES we had a house divided. Now they are both married and these will be their anniversary gifts for the happy couples. This is my first time doing applique AND I sometimes amaze myself. I think they turned out really nice.

I would welcome comments...both positive and negative....so that I can continue to learn on my quilting adventure.

Both are wonderful!

Wow your first time doing applique? You should be very proud of yourself. They are wonderful. Sure to be loved.

Both of those are FANTASTIC! My house was a Jayhawk house (my parents met at KU). My Aunt Dorothy worked at KU and her husband, Uncle Fritz, played football and graduated from Kansas State so they were always in teasing one another.

Both of them are beyond beautiful. You really outdid yourself!

Keep up the great work!

I'm a graduate of Kansas State University, so I am partial to that one :) However, both quilts are outstanding. You did a wonderful job. A couple of lucky girls!

Absolutely terrific! You don't have a house divided, you have a house full of extraordinary talent and awesome diversity. They will just love it!

Both quilts are stunning. I love this pattern. My eyes just kept moving around the quilt.

My goodness. Both quilts are wonderful! The show the result of your hard work. I'm pretty much an amateur myself, but I do appreciate the quality of your work and I know you spent a LOT of time and effort! The quilts are both beautiful!

Both are very well done. Pretty and striking. Your girls will love them.

sewnsewer2 09-15-2016 04:10 AM

Awesome job! They will love them!

lass 09-15-2016 04:59 AM

Great quilts! and you used so many different blocks - wow.

MargeD 09-15-2016 08:38 AM

Both are wonderful quilts. You did a great job on t hem.

Innov8R 09-15-2016 12:26 PM

Having a Bachelor's from KU and a Master's from K-State-I have to say that I love both your quilts equally. The Wildcat and the Jayhawk are so beautifully appliqued, I thought they were prints.

quiltstringz 09-15-2016 01:08 PM

You did a fantastic job. They are going to be over the moon

suern3 09-15-2016 01:35 PM

They are both wonderful quilts!

GeeGee 09-15-2016 10:28 PM

Your quilts are exquisite! They will surely cherish them.

Teddybear Lady 09-15-2016 10:31 PM

They both look great!

quiltmaker52 09-16-2016 06:17 AM

Wonderful quilts. I love how you did the blocks. Did you design the blocks yourself? Super job!

Lilrain 09-16-2016 06:24 AM

There will be two very happy couples when they receive those great quilts.

RedGarnet222 09-16-2016 07:27 AM

Wow these are the best school pride quilts I have ever seen!

quiltingshorttimer 09-17-2016 12:33 PM

both are wonderful--although being a KU grad 2x, I have to say, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!" to that one--my DD is a K-State grad and would love all that purple and white! Did you make your own pattern? I haven't seen either around and living in KS I'm surprised I haven't--so figure originals? If so--WOW! You could sell either of those designs! Really nice job on the applique, too!
